Travel writing award for Lake Tahoe News

Lake Tahoe News Publisher Kathryn Reed on Feb. 7 received third place from the North American Travel Journalists Association in the “historical travel” category for her article on Manzanar.
The January 2017 story is about the Japanese internment camp on Highway 395 in the Eastern Sierra.
Photos accompanying the story are from Carolyn Wright, a regular contributor to LTN.
“I share this award with Carolyn because her ability to capture the starkness of this encampment brought the story to life in a way my words couldn’t,” Reed said.
This is the 26th year for the NATJA awards, with more than 1,000 entries. All online entries are judged together, with all publication sizes lumped together.
